Chapter 319: Bank Run, Night Raid
Chapter 319: Bank Run, Night Raid
Naturally, our own prince, a mortal, is no exception. Alas, there is a reason why the saying "wise men do not fall in love" exists. Our prince looked very irrational just now.
Pei Yuke had no idea that General Yang was nagging him from behind. He and Shen Li had already walked up to the city wall.
Outside Dingzhou City is a plain. It is already the end of March, and spring has already arrived in other places, but here, no buds have yet sprouted on the ground. The wind coming out of the ground is bitterly cold, and spring is still a long way off here.
There are many mountains outside the plain not far away. These mountains stopped the barbarians' pace but could not stop their ambitions.
The climate in the north is harsh, especially where the Tatars live. Therefore, the reason why they keep launching wars is because they want land, food and warm climate.
Shen Li stood on the city wall and looked down. After years of war, the base of the wall and even the wall itself were covered with mottled and mixed bloodstains. After oxidation, they looked black, making this majestic city wall even more solemn and dignified.
"Ali, my grandfather has lived here since he was a child. When I was young, he told me that as a military commander, I must be worthy of the people behind me and my monarch."
"But you probably know the previous emperor. He was not a monarch worthy of loyalty."
Shen Li asked back: "What about now?"
Pei Yu raised his lips slightly, "Although the emperor is a bit cold, he cares about the people. He can see whether the people are living well, punish corrupt officials, and make the right decisions. This is already very good."
Shen Li nodded. Indeed, it was very good for a qualified monarch to be able to do these things. He had a keen eye for things, cared about the people, and was decisive in killing people. He was very suitable to sit in that position.
It is rare to see A Yu speak so highly of someone. It seems that he also recognizes the emperor.
The wind was biting cold on the city wall. Thinking of the wound on his body, he turned around and pulled him, "Let's go down. It's windy up there."
"Okay, let's go walk around the city."
Shen Li paused. This guy has bad intentions again.
"No, your injuries haven't healed yet, go back and rest."
Shen Li decisively refused. Although the people were very enthusiastic, she really didn't want to be treated like a monkey by so many people again.
"Ok."
Pei Yu felt a little regretful, but thinking of Shen Li's character, he knew that there was no need to rush. Moreover, she did not object when someone called her princess today. What does this mean?
This means that Ali has already accepted herself in her heart!
Hey!
Shen Li clearly saw the silly smile on Pei Yu's lips, but she couldn't bear to watch it, so she turned her head away.
Fortunately, Pei Yu knew his limits on the way back. He just sat in the carriage and chatted with Shen Li without making any trouble.
As soon as the two got off the carriage, they were met with Mo Qing's deadly gaze.
"What did I say, Pei Zian, can't you just calm down? The hole in your chest doesn't hurt at all, right?"
Considering that they were standing at the gate of the mansion, Mo Qing lowered his voice and spoke with gritted teeth.
Pei Yu coughed lightly and said in a gentle voice: "I feel much better today, and I was sitting in the carriage, so my wound did not break."
"If you still want to make the wound worse, you might as well find a new doctor next time."
Shen Li ignored their conversation and walked straight into the mansion. Pei Yu muttered in a low voice behind him, "Mo Qing, your temper is getting worse and worse. Can't you give me some face in front of Ah Li?"
Mo Qing suddenly felt a headache, forget it, ignore him, turn around and follow Shen Li. The two of them walked very fast. Pei Yu chased behind, but he didn't dare to take big steps, for fear of being scolded if his wound split, so he quickly distanced himself from them.
If you can't catch up, just give up and slowly fall behind with your hands behind your back.
Shen Li walked quickly for a while, and when she found that Pei Yu did not catch up with her, she slowed down. Seeing this, Mo Qing felt happy for Pei Yu. It seemed that he was not picky.
They just walked to the corridor at this time, "Miss Shen, I am a little tired, sit down in front and rest for a while."
"it is good."
When Pei Yu came over, he saw the two people sitting there chatting from afar.
"Let's go, it's windy here."
Mo Qing glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just a little tired. I'm taking a rest here. I'm not waiting for you."
Pei Yu nodded, "I know, can we go back now?"
He always felt that Mo Qing had been inexplicably irritated these past two days. Could it be that he really pissed her off? Or was he just thinking about love?
"A sneeze, a sneeze~"
Mo Qing sneezed twice loudly, and the moment he sneezed, Shen immediately stood up and moved away from him.
I looked up at the two people standing opposite me and felt my head hurt even more.
"Let's go. Your wounds haven't healed yet. You can't catch a cold."
"Well, let's stay away from Mo Qing."
Mo Qing's face was filled with black lines. He was a doctor, so how could he not know whether the patient was sick or not?
Now he finally understood why these two people were able to get together. Although they both seemed unkind on the surface, they were extremely childish at heart and actually isolated themselves together.
hum~
"Ali, you didn't even wait for me just now." Pei Yu held Shen Li's hand and whispered.
"I waited, you walked too slowly, you could have walked faster."
Pei Yu: He promised that if he responded to this sentence today, the ending might not be very good.
"I am injured now and cannot walk too fast."
"Oh!"
This "oh" is very meaningful. After hearing it, Pei Yu interrupted it and let the matter go.
Pei Yu originally wanted to take Shen Li to the military camp, but was sternly rejected by Shen Li.
Just kidding, people don't go to places like military camps. If something happens to you, you won't be able to explain it even if you have two mouths.
At night, everything was quiet. The most common sound heard in the quiet Dingzhou City was the whistling cold wind. At this moment, a team of 20,000 Tatar soldiers were slowly approaching Dingzhou City.
When they appeared on the plain outside Dingzhou City, the soldiers on guard on the city wall immediately discovered them.
"Dang Dang Dang~"
"Dang Dang Dang~"
The soldiers stationed near the city wall immediately woke up. Without anyone showing up, they all put on their armor and took up their weapons and gathered outside immediately.
Even the people near the city wall woke up instantly, but they just watched silently and did not go out to cause trouble.
The huge bell sound echoed in Dingzhou City, and Shen Li and Pei Yu naturally woke up.
Pei Yu ignored his injuries, put on his cloak, picked up his weapon and walked out, where he met Shen Li who was rushing over.
"Ali, I..."
"I'm not here to stop you. I'm going with you."
Pei Yu: "No, Ah Li, you stay here and have a good rest. I have a lot of people under me, so you don't need to do it yourself."
The key is that the battlefield changes rapidly. Although Ali's martial arts are high, swords have no eyes. He cannot guarantee that he will be by her side all the time. If she gets hurt, he cannot accept the thought of it.
